How do (up to "full ride") scholarships work with grants?

<p>To the OP. If she is eligible for the Pell grant she will still get it even with a full scholarship. The Pell is an entitlement grant and is not reduced because of other scholarships. </p>

<p>The Pell will never be taken away, BUT a full scholarship can be reduced by the amount of the Pell. If the scholarship is full tuition, it probably wouldn’t be reduced by Pell. However, if it’s a “full ride,” some schools will reduce the institutional grant by the amount of Pell. Every college handles their scholarships differently, so it is good to find out for sure.</p>
